This is on a farm in SE Ohio. It's received alot of local publicity, however I haven't verified the authenticity of the story. I too have never seen an albino deer with a white rack. Hopefully it doesn't turn out to be a hoax.

It is legal to harvest an albino deer in Ohio. I was a full draw on a piebold deer a few years back, but it was a yearling and the doe saw me draw and I didn't get a shot.

"Any sportsman who can kill his deer without the tingling spine, the quick clutch at his heart, the delicious trembling of nerve fibers when the game is finally down, has no place in the deer woods." Lawrence R. Koller. (1948).

Ohio farms wrote:Are his antlers white because he is in velvet? The white antlers look really cool.

I suspect that's the case. I look at it this way: a true albino has no skin pigment, so he wouldn't have any pigment in his velvet either. Once he sheds his velvet his antlers will be the same bone-color as any other buck. We see few good pictures of albino bucks, and even fewer of albino bucks in velvet, but I'd expect any albino buck to have white velvet.

If anyone can post other pictures of albino bucks in velvet, we might answer the question for sure.

When the Everyday Hunter isn't hunting, he's thinking about hunting, talking about hunting, dreaming about hunting, writing about hunting, or wishing he were hunting.

Beautiful!...neat it's so close to the house that the tree swing is in photo...but Steves right....those look like ear tags....does your state tag young deer for studies?

Ohhhh.... I remember a post here...got a tad heated I recall....about how All albinos are inferior and need to be taken out of the herds.... ....Well he doesn't look too inferior to me...and that rack indicates that predators didn't find him so either

Hey guys these photos were taken by my wife! Not sure how they ended up on here. These were taken in Franklin, TN in our back yard. Not on a farm in Ohio. Friend me on facebook and you can see more. I have him on trail cam as well as some other pics!
